Sen. Clinton has impressive resume

Re Tuesday's cartoon: I can no longer tolerate Chan Lowe's tireless attacks on Hillary Clinton. According to Carl Bernstein's biography of Hillary Clinton, as a student at Yale Law School, many classmates envisioned her as the first woman president, due to her campus leadership. After graduation, she was offered exceptionally high-level jobs in New York and Washington, D.C., but moved to Arkansas to marry classmate Bill Clinton.

Besides working for years at prestigious law firms, she was actively involved in her husband's career as governor and president. Coupled with being a two-term senator, it amply qualifies her to serve as an effective president.

It appears that some of the media are concerned with being labeled racist, but are quite comfortable with being sexist.
